Book Description

Beautiful, damaged, the ultimate sex symbol, publicly celebrated,
privately unhappy - Marilyn Monroe's tumultuous life and untimely death
continue to fascinate us. When Marilyn Monroe became famous in the
1950s, the world was told that her mother was either dead or simply not a
part of her life. However, that was not true. In fact, her mentally ill
mother was very much present in Marilyn's world and the complex family
dynamic that unfolded behind the scenes is a story that has never been
told - until now. In this groundbreaking book Taraborrelli draws complex
and sympathetic portraits of the women so influential in the actress'
life, including her mother, her foster mother and her legal guardian. He
also reveals, for the first time, the shocking scope of Marilyn's own
mental illness, the identity of Marilyn's father and the half-brother
she never knew, and new information about her relationship with the
Kennedys - Bobby, Jack and Pat Lawford Kennedy. Explosive, revelatory
and surprisingly moving, this is the final word on the life of one of
the most fascinating and elusive icons of the twentieth century.
